You know the worst thing is freedom. Freedom of any kind is the worst for creativity. You know, Dali spent two months in jail in Spain, and these two months were the most enjoyable and happy in my life. Before my jail period, I was always nervous, anxious. I didn't know if I should make a drawing, or perhaps make a poem, or go to the movies or the theatre, or catch a girl, or play with the boys. The people put me in jail, and my life became divine. Tremendous!

We must always remember that the Chinese revolution was not a peasant's revolution, but one of the extreme Right.

All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.

You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life

I believe that the moment is near when by a procedure of active paranoiac thought, it will be possible to systematize confusion and contribute to the total discrediting of the world of reality.

Drawing is the honesty of the art.

I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.
